Nothing. They seems longer when you do not participate at wars. Wars are long: preparation, action and return to a certain normality. If you just try diploannex, time seems more slower. You have less things to think. Try it. A game with several wars and a game without. Big difference.
long games
It takes me about ..guessing ... 24-30 hours of real life to play a GC. usually over many sessions. sometimes i will do a marathon of 8-12 hours, but thats excessive as i like having a job and friends and a life etc.
a war that lasts a few years game time can take me a few hours to play through. i can usually play about 30 years in game time over 4 hours (I change speeds all the time and take small breaks, and sometimes fall into micromagement etc., so this is rough) i find too many wars tedious and can stretch out the game to hours more than i want.
how many times have i thought at midnite, just one more war, and then when the peace treaty gets inked its suddenly 4 am . Too many.
i gotta watch it.
so warmongering is bad for ME.
edit: hmm. i neglected to acount for 18th C. which i usually pass, as game is foregone conclusion. so add another 8-15 hours to game time for complete GC.

Of course, to build new units, send them in provinces, besiege them, etc., need a lot of attention, so time passed is short. But what I meant is the feeling of the time passed is different when you are a warmongerer or a pacifist. If you participate in many wars, you have so much to do that you are not as conscious of the time as the guy who plays the diplomatic game who have too something to do, but less intensive than war activities.
Agree?
